Window Tint

For those of you who have tinted your windows specifically the rear window is it normal for the window to look refracted. Its hard to explain but at night when a car is behind me the lights coming through seems to become 6 different lights going up and down from the source.

They say specifically NOT to get Metallic tint for the rear window, as the radio antenna is routed through the back window, and it "may" cause interference. Not sure if this is an accurate statement or not, but really, why take the chance? Just get Ceramic tint.

I have metallic with no issues, and it would only affect AM and not FM ...

I just had my windows tinted yesterday. In the paperwork it said something about that. It's normal, (kinda weird, nut normal) I'll see what it said again.

it's caused by a slight bend in the film, due to the defroster ridges.
